We are shrouds of starlight Shining like the most illuminated sunset We are somewhat functional in our conditioning With hundreds of moving pieces to contend with We are examples of million dollar architecture Manicured lawns and poolside furniture We are fantasies of the suburbs Disposable diapers always readily waiting Like soldiers in times of need or war We have become triumphantly stupider Bored of reading and taking time to reflect And it appears we are not yet collectively ready To rebel against the swelling tides of tyranny
I wonder if she was asleep when i walked into her room Or if she could hear me speaking to her While she waits and dreams of millions of sparrows Butterflies grace her eyelids with hidden sight We sink deep into radical islands of beauty And make noises despite our empty lungs We speak for the lack of honesty Large houses distract you from the edges Of sorrow and grief Please feel free to erupt into a million pieces Do not stand idly by while corruption waits out on the street We are shedding our soldiers and stories From weeping eyes of brown caramel And like your daughters we are ***** and distrustful And a boiling *** of water knows no mercy, child We now must face the test of our temperaments As if the increasing tropical heat is only a mild, and subtle Warning of the inherent need for all beings to remain wild
